Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a discharge lamp, and more particularly, to a discharge lamp which is used as a light source for exposing semiconductor wafers, liquid crystal glass substrates, printed circuit boards, color filters or the like; or is used as a light source for image projection when projecting images onto screens in movie theaters, or the like.
  • Short arc type mercury discharge lamps were conventionally used as ultraviolet light sources in a variety of exposure processes such as for semiconductors, liquid crystals, or printed circuit boards. Recently, larger exposure areas and higher throughput have been realized in exposure processes for liquid crystal substrates or color filters.
  • Short arc type xenon lamps have also been used as light sources for visible light in film projectors, or the like.
  • FIG. 10 is a schematic depiction of the configuration of a conventional discharge lamp charged with mercury.
  • An arc tube 10 of a discharge lamp 1 composed from quartz glass, comprises a roughly spherical shaped light emitting part 11 , inside of which a space S is formed, and side tube parts 12 formed on opposite sides of the light emitting part 11 .
  • the light emitting part 11 contains a pair of electrodes 13 A, 13 C disposed opposite each other, and the space S is filled with a discharge gas.
  • Electrode rods 14 which support the electrodes 13 A, 13 C, respectively, are electrically connected to external leads (not shown) which project outward from the side tube parts 12 , and supply electric power from an external source.
  • Getter metal 15 such as tantalum wire, is directly fixed to the periphery of the electrode rod 14 which supports the electrode 13 C in the space S.
  • the material for the getter metal 15 is tantalum which can also absorb and bind oxygen, carbon dioxide, or other impurities (Japanese Patent Publication No. 3077538, corresponding to U.S. Pat. No. 5,712,530 A).
  • Yttrium with a large of amount of hydrogen absorption is previously known as a getter metal used in hydrogen getters to remove hydrogen (Japanese Patent Publication 57-21835, corresponding to U.S. Pat. No. 3,953,755 A).
  • a high-pressure gas discharge lamp wherein a hydrogen getter having yttrium or other hydrogen getter material therein is covered by a metal outer casing made of tantalum or other hydrogen permeable metal, and is provided inside a discharge vessel.
  • FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view of a hydrogen getter in a discharge lamp according to the above-mentioned patent publication.
  • a hydrogen getter 5 is a getter composite body constituted from a metal outer casing comprised of a bottomed cylinder 51 made from tantalum or other metal and a cover 53 , and a hydrogen absorbent body 52 composed from cylindrical yttrium enclosed therein.
  • the interior of the metal outer casing is sealed by welding together the flange parts 512 of the bottomed cylinder 51 and the cover 53 ; the hydrogen in the light emission space enters through the metal outer casing having tantalum or other hydrogen permeable metal; and the hydrogen is absorbed in the hydrogen absorbent body 52 . Because the yttrium enclosed therein is covered by the metal outer casing, the yttrium can absorb hydrogen without reacting with other substances in the light emission space.
  • the arc tubes of these discharge lamps are formed by heating quartz glass using an oxyhydrogen burner. During the heating process, the water or hydrogen present in the quartz glass dissolves. Because the temperature of the arc tube reaches a high temperature of 500° C. or more while the lamp is lit, the dissolved hydrogen or water is released into the arc tube as impurity gas. Namely, when the lamp is made larger, the amount of water or hydrogen which is released from the arc tube increases. With a conventional tantalum getter, however, it is possible that the amount of hydrogen absorption was insufficient compared to the amount of hydrogen that should have been removed.
  • Yttrium on the other hand, has a high degree of hydrogen absorption. Because yttrium reacts with mercury, however, a metal outer casing or other protective means like the ones set forth in Japanese Patent Publication 57-21835 and corresponding U.S. Pat. No. 3,953,755 A is necessary. Additionally, because the weight of hydrogen must be increased to some extent as the amount of the released hydrogen is increased, the metal outer casing which covers the yttrium also becomes larger.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a flickerless discharge lamp which can remove hydrogen by a simple and safe means even if the lamp is a large discharge lamp with high pressure when lit.
  • the present invention is characterized in that, in a discharge lamp comprising a pair of electrodes and a hydrogen getter in the arc tube interior, the hydrogen getter comprises a container composed from metal which is hydrogen permeable and a hydrogen absorbent body which can absorb hydrogen that is enclosed inside the container; and the hydrogen absorbent body is melted and fixed to the inside wall of the container.
  • the present invention is also characterized in that the container is a tubular member having an enclosed part on at least one end, and the hydrogen absorbent body is melted and fixed to the inside wall near the enclosed part.
  • the container is composed of tantalum, molybdenum, or niobium, or a metal comprising one of the above metals.
  • the hydrogen absorbent body is composed of yttrium, zirconium, or a metal comprising one of the above metals.
  • the container is a tubular member having a sealed part on at least one end, and the hydrogen absorbent body is melted and fixed to the inside wall near the sealed part, through a simple manufacturing method, a hydrogen getter which has excellent durability and is convenient to install can be introduced inside the light emission part of the lamp, and can reduce flickering of the discharge lamp caused by hydrogen.
  • the container is composed from tantalum, molybdenum, or niobium, or a metal comprising one of the above metals, hydrogen can be satisfactorily transmitted and introduced inside the container without the container melting when at high temperature inside the arc tube while the lamp is lit.
  • hydrogen can be transmitted and introduced inside the container without reacting with the mercury in a lamp which is filled with mercury.

  • yttrium or zirconium which have high hydrogen absorption capacity, in the hydrogen absorbent body 42 is preferred.
  • a metal which contains yttrium or zirconium is also acceptable. Either establishing a vacuum (10 ⁇ 1 Pa or less for example) to prevent oxidation of the hydrogen absorbent body 42 , or charging a rare gas in the remaining internal space is preferred.
  • the hydrogen absorbent body 42 is arranged so the internal space of the container 41 is isolated from the exterior and the hydrogen absorbent body 42 does not react with the mercury inside the arc tube 10 .
  • the tantalum, molybdenum, or niobium of which the container 41 may be formed are metals which will not react with the mercury in the arc tube 10 even when in contact with the mercury, and hydrogen permeable. Consequently, this container 41 will allow hydrogen to enter into the interior thereof without allowing mercury to enter the interior thereof.
  • both end parts of the tube are pressed from above and below and folded together, and the sealed portion 413 is closed by pressure welding.
  • the end parts of the completed container form a flat part 414 which is inclined relative to the container 41 .

  • the hydrogen getter 4 has a bent-pipe shape, with the container 41 being circularly wound.
  • the basic constitution and the cross-section thereof is the same as the above-mentioned container 41 which was formed into a straight cylindrical shape.
